If you’re anywhere near the Roxie in the Mission District of San Francisco this Saturday I highly recommend – it’s where I’d be if I lived there! – the first screening of the documentary filmSurvival Research Laboratories: Live at the Extreme Futurist Festival, Los Angeles, California, December 22, 2012, about that eponymous organization of robots and robiticists. A Q&A with filmmakers and members of SRL will also take place after the screening; prior to the screening Mark Pauline will demonstrate The Spine Robot in front of the theater.

This first public screening of this documentary – hosted by Survival Research Labs Founder and Director Mark Pauline, and SRL video producer and filmmaker Steve Bage – chronicles the planning, pre-production, and performance of a full Survival Research Labs show, captured by seventeen cameras.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
